Movie Review: Fanboys


After years of trials and tribulations, FANBOYS has finally hit theaters! It's been popping around the counrty for over a year now in different festivals and even showed at Comic-Con 2008, but now it's finally here! A movie set around the relase of Star Wars: Episode One, it's about a group of kids from the wid-west who try to break into the Skywalker Ranch, the home base of George Lucas and Lucasfilm. I really wasn't expecting it to be all that great, and after the first few minutes, I still wasn't all that convinced. It picked up quite a bit though, and got really good. There are a lot of funny cameos from stars like; William Shattner, Carrie Fisher, Danny Trejo, Kevin Smith, and Seth Rogen among others. The movie covers a bunch of different topics, and each of the main characters grow throughout the film. It had really serious moments and it also had really funny, slapstick moments as well. A great movie for any Star Wars fan, or anybody who might really be a fanboy at heart.

I give Fanboys a 9 outta 10.
P.S. Kristen Bell, I love you.
